Happy Birthday Ellie Lynn!! We wanted to share some pictures from Ellie's first birthday and her party. On her actual birthday, July 8th, I had to work all day (which I was very sad about) but luckily Russell ended up not working and surprised me by taking her to my work so we could go out to lunch together. We went to our favorite lunch place near my work called Skip's Place and Ellie got to order her own kid-sized hamburger. That night we had my mom, dad and uncle Pres over for pizza and a small family celebration for Ellie's birthday. We watched her open some presents (this did not keep her attention for very long) and spent a lot of time playing with all of her toys. The night was filled with smiles, giggles and laughter as it usually is when Ellie is around. She started a hilarious new "trick" where she starts shaking her hips when a song or music is playing, thus starting the "shake your booty" game. All we have to do is play music or just say "shake, shake, shake your booty" and she responds by shaking her booty. It is too cute for words.
Ellie's First Birthday Party
On Saturday July 13th we had Ellie's first birthday party at our house. The theme was Little Mermaid Under the Sea and we even had floating jellyfish in the tree outside. It was a super fun day spent with friends and family and it was our first official party hosted at our new house. We had about 45 people over and everyone had a blast! We had a few people in the pool and we were very happy that it wasn't too hot outside. Ellie loved her smashcake and got frosting all over her face and even tried to share with mommy and daddy. We were so happy that our friends and family got to celebrate with us and we are still in shock that our little bear is one year old!
